Bee Hive

The Complete Bee Hive Sessions (#261)
Jim and Susan Neumann’s passion for bebop and hard bop led to the decision they would start their own label. They chose the name Bee Hive, after a Chicago club that thrived in the 1950s. Their enthusiasm resulted in sixteen LPs, released over a span of seven years. Because they were committed to independent distribution, even though the albums got noticed they were never widely available. And they've never been available on CDs.

Dial

The Complete Dial Modern Jazz Sessions (#260)
As most jazz fans know, among the most important records to hear in your life are Charlie Parker’s Dial Sessions, recorded between 1946 and 1947. But Dial was way more than Parker. It was a microcosm of the explosive changes happening at a moment in time. And we have everything. Every master, every important alternate, and many intriguing false starts, on nine CDs. The set was only previously collected in Japan 20 years ago. Now it’s available worldwide at last.

James P. Johnson

Classic James P. Johnson Sessions (#262)
James P. Johnson was one of the most important, if not THE most important, stride pianists, a style that developed in New York in the 1920s and the first music that sounds like what we call jazz. It was more rhythmically complex than anything before it. More harmonically challenging. More exuberant and crafty.

Roland Kirk

Roland Kirk: The Limelight/Verve Albums (4 LPs)(#3006)
These four albums were recorded at some of the finest studios in the New York City area including Nola Studios and Capitol Studios. “Rip. Rig And Panic” and “Now Please Don’t You Cry, Beautiful Edith” were two of the three times that Kirk recorded at the famed Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey (the first was his one Prestige album with Jack McDuff). All four of these albums have been mastered from their original analog masters by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound in New York City. This is the first Mosaic set to be pressed at Chad Kassem’s Quality Record Pressings in Salinas, Kansas. About the pressings coming out of QRP, Michael Fremer wrote on TrackingAngle.com,” all I can say is THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!!!!!

The Savory Collection

The Savory Collection 1935-1940
Savory's achievement in recording and preserving this material can't be understated. You could be at home around your radio, but you didn't have the equipment in the studio where Savory tinkered and invented. The glory of these broadcasts in many cases heard here is that he was capturing live music without the limitation of a 3 or 4 minute 78 rpm recording. If the club version of a song went for six minutes, no matter. Savory got every note of it.

Classic Savoy Be-Bop Sessions

Classic Savoy Be-Bop Sessions 1945-49 (#264)
Listening through the sessions spanning just five years, it's clear that as leaders and soloists these musicians' mastery and confidence increased the more they re-entered the studio. It's also clear how far technology has advanced. Steve Marlowe restored and mastered this entire set using Bit Density Processing, and along with Jonathan Horwich of International Phonograph, has produced magical results.
